Abstract
Abstract for NIPNET Conference in September 2024 – Moderated Poster Session
Abstract title:
Teaching Interprofessional Collaboration Through Use of Authentic Practice
Background:
Students from four different educational programs at the Copenhagen University College (Pedagogy, Physiotherapy, Nursing, and Nutrition and Health) participates, in a 6-7-week interprofessional course "Elderly in Vulnerable Positions".
The students collaborate interprofessional and innovatively on an interprofessional practice case, visit a clinical setting, and present solution proposals to practice, educators, and classmates. The students are motivated by working with this real life interprofessional case and a chance that their solution might be used in practice. There is therefore a close collaboration between the representatives from practice and the educators.
Methods
For the educators, it is a continuous development project – seeking, finding, and developing clinical liaisons in municipal and regional contexts in the Greater Copenhagen area. Supporting liaisons in the development of the clinical case and description of relevant, interprofessional collaborative cases. Supporting the clinical practice during student visits and preparing the clinical practice to provide constructive, dialogic, and learning feedback.
Results/findings
Students evaluate the collaboration with practice and the innovative process of finding a solution to the clinical case very positively.
Our clinical liaisons evaluate the collaboration with instructors/students as beneficial to their clinical work.
Discussion
The challenges lie in getting practice to see collaboration with the interprofessional course as an investment, where the clinical practice gains a range of good practical ideas to work on in their daily clinical work.
Conclusion
Real life practice cases give students a clear sense of the importance and the meaningfulness for the interprofessional collaboration. The students learn from the respective professions and prepares them for their future and the vast interprofessional collaboration happening in the clinical practice.
Takeaway
Using real life practical cases for students provides relevant and meaningful learning.
